Jessica Buchanan | Founder of Soul Speak Press

Jessica Buchanan: Kidnapping Survivor, Rescued by SEAL Team VI, NYT Bestselling Author, voted one of the 150 Most Fearless Women Who Shake the World

Jessica is also the founder of Soul Speak Press where she supports women who are ready to share their stories through Memoir Manifestos- books that are one part memoir, one part self-help, and one part inspiration.

On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012. Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book, "Impossible Odds."
